Legend of the Grand Shard Golem - RULES

[rob77dp]

Here I list what my planned minor rule updates are. A rule update will only take place in the game if it gets enough votes from current players.

• Setting your player's view range to 2 tile radius. This would mean that a player can see if another player in his viewing range has found a shard vein or not.

  Rob votes in favor of adopting.

• Enable players to attack any other players in their view range. This would be a twin rule to the 2-tile view range rule.

  Rob votes in favor of adopting.

• If a shard is harvested by a player, every other players get attacked by Shard Spirits. Shard Spirits use mono decks with the same mark as the found shard. The Shard Spirits will be controlled by the organizer. If a Shard Spirit beats a player, one of the player's shards is swapped to another element randomly. If a player beats a Shard Spirit, he can swap one of his shard's element to another at will, but only in the round when the ambush happened!

  Rob votes in favor of adopting.

• Placing gold and diamond veins on the map, and shops in the corners and at other random tiles. This way by collecting gold/diamond(GDP), players have the opportunity to buy (maximum) 1 shard when they have enough GDP. The shards would have different prices, all being HELL-expensive!

  Rob votes against adopting - This seems a bit too much complication for not enough fun/enjoyment/depth in return.

• Place Golem Guards randomly on the map. If you defeat them, you get GDP, if they defeat you, they take a fixed amount of GDP.

  Rob votes against adapting - Refer to previous item response.

• RESERVED for later

im with rob. that gold shop thing sounds not good for that enviroment. against it.

for spirits, how about spirits attack only players in range of x? like 4 tiles around them, so its a bit like a hint for players seeing which mark they use. would like that.

ozher rules ok for me

Here I list what my planned minor rule updates are. A rule update will only take place in the game if it gets enough votes from current players. Yellow means pending, green means accepted, red means discarded.

• Enable players to have multiple shards of one element. With some limiting of course: players can only have 1 shard per vein. So this prohibits harvesting twice from the same shard vein, unless you lost that shard and you need it again.
• You can search and harvest under a base just by standing next to it. And I also plan to always show the amount of shard veins that are blocked by player bases. However standing inside a base doesn't allow you to search and harvest a tile.
• something about shard of freedom and recovering exhausted veins... will be tweaked later.

I added 2 planned rule to the list and I will do another if I will have more time. Accepted rules will be written in the OP.

  Perhaps a limit of 2 - the base maximum actions in a turn is 2.  A limit of 2 therefore allows the player the choice to stay put and harvest twice.  However, players watching the map closely will notice this (no moves sent = move toward base; common other turns involve one spaces moved) and realize a shard was likely found!

• You can search and harvest under a base just by standing next to it. And I also plan to always show the amount of shard veins that are blocked by player bases. However standing inside a base doesn't allow you to search and harvest a tile.

  I am OK with this - but if a few area against with reason I would prefer not having.  (Sorry for such a wavering response/vote...)

• something about shard of freedom and recovering exhausted veins... will be tweaked later.

  Against - if the map was done "right" enough shards/veins should exist to make the event complete-able.  Otherwise, if not enough shards exist to have a winner then the event is not likely fixable by something like this.  <Reserve privilege to change this vote based on future tweaks by Submachine>

I agree with Rob's votes above.

• Enable players to have multiple shards of one element. With some limiting of course: players can only have 1 shard per vein. So this prohibits harvesting twice from the same shard vein, unless you lost that shard and you need it again.
• You can search and harvest under a base just by standing next to it. And I also plan to always show the amount of shard veins that are blocked by player bases. However standing inside a base doesn't allow you to search and harvest a tile.
• If a player was inactive in the latest days and was forced to move back towards their base, when they come back they are enabled to do 3 actions for their next active day.

Original Planned Rule List was updated with one more rule. Also, there is now a total of 3 rules pending.

[Spielkind]

that last rule makes time to strategy, cause so you can speed up to come back to your base or to the middle, when you will run to it. would not give inactive players more options, inactive is bad, so it has to be bad.

The disadvantages of being inactive are still bigger. The rule would only come alive if a player was inactive for at least 2 days = 4 actions. They will both lose minimum 1 action and be forced to move backwards.

• Enable all players 4 actions per day. Note that this would make predicting other players' move more difficult, but this would be a good thing if the number of active players drop to 1-3.
• If your only action type in a day was moving, you can move 1 more time.

2 more rules are added to the planlist. Please vote in favor or against them.

  Previously voted yes  on this one.  No change in stance.

• If a player was inactive in the latest days and was forced to move back towards their base, when they come back they are enabled to do 3 actions for their next active day.

  I vote in favor of this.  As stated, 2 days is 4 actions and missing one day and having next at 3 actions is 2 days with 3 actions (so still a penatly @Spiel).

• Enable all players 4 actions per day. Note that this would make predicting other players' move more difficult, but this would be a good thing if the number of active players drop to 1-3.

  Objection your honor!  Unless I read a convincing argument otherwise...

• If your only action type in a day was moving, you can move 1 more time.

  On the fence again here - I'm OK with this if all other votes submitted are non-objections.

• this would make thee end rush to the centre to easy especially if you have a spare aether shard and bae at the centre columns
